Product description

A clicking or rattling noise while driving, particularly during acceleration, cornering or load changes, can indicate wear in a CV joint. Vibrations during acceleration can also be caused by this. When replacing a CV joint, therefore also check the other CV joint on the same drive shaft and replace the CV boots if they are dried out, torn or damaged.

The reinforced 100 mm CV joint listed here is intended for the Volkswagen buses mentioned in the application. This version features a chromoly cage and hardened, precision-machined inner and outer races. The CV joint has a 33-spline inner race and six mounting holes.

Compared with a standard CV joint, this version is better able to withstand higher loads and greater operating angles. This is especially beneficial on a Bus. The higher vehicle weight, additional load, a more powerful engine or use under heavier conditions puts more stress on the drivetrain. A modified ride height can also cause the drive shaft to operate at a greater angle.

With its 100 mm outside diameter and 33 splines, this reinforced version has the same basic dimensions as the standard CV joint used in these applications. It is therefore a good choice if you deliberately want a more robust version for your Bus.

Note:
Use only special CV joint grease suitable for high loads, preferably containing molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂). Do not use ordinary universal grease.
